Any similar games?

Post by Vash854 »

Are there any games similar to ToEE? I have played Neverwinter Nights (not the 2nd one) and I don't find it to be as fun as ToEE for me, I really like the turn based combat of ToEE, anyone know any games like this?

There is sadly nothing quite like ToEE.
The folks at Circle of Eight are working on a fan-made game using ToEE's engine and based upon another classic module "The Keep on the Borderlands"
I've got no idea how far along they are, but it's a big project.

There is I think a turn-based game for the PSP that's a surprisingly good port of D&D 3.5.

Other than that, the standard recommendations of NWN and Baldur's Gate 2 (which lets you choose to pause at the end of every turn and such)

Hello, I am making a game that is similar to ToEE in many ways.

It's called Knights of the Chalice. You can read all about it at www.heroicfantasygames.com.

I have written a review of the Keep on the Borderlands demo there.

The PSP game mentioned by Lord Plothos is Dungeons & Dragons Tactics. From what I've heard it's not as good as ToEE.

I would recommend Dark Sun Shattered Lands and Wizardry 8 instead.

Dark Sun's turn-based combat is nearly as good as that of ToEE, and is faster.

Wizardry 8 uses a phase-based combat mode. A bit slow, but better than real time with pause, in my opinion.
